Jennifer and Jake accompanied Ben on his assignment to the USS Saratoga, where she was killed when that ship was destroyed by the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367. Jennifer's death devastated Ben and it was years before he began to move on emotionally. In fact, his bitterness and anger over her death, specifically toward Captain Jean-Luc Picard, whom the Borg assimilated and forced to lead their invasion of Earth as Locutus, almost led him to resign his Starfleet commission, before he accepted that he was trying to escape his memories of Jennifer's death rather than Starfleet itself. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Way of the Warrior")

Jennifer's death haunted Ben for years. He had trouble sleeping around the fourth anniversary of her death. Shortly after, he met Fenna, who he told Jadzia Dax was the first person he'd "felt really drawn to" since Jennifer's death. (DS9: "Second Sight")

When Ben began dating Kasidy Yates he was initially uncomfortable being with her, as it was his job that got Jennifer killed and he did not want the same to happen to her. (DS9: "Indiscretion")

One of the ideas Jake had for Anslem was to make it semi-autobiographical, with the main character's mother dying. (DS9: "The Muse")
